    Pop in to whichever of these is closest to you. They work out of colleges in Crumlin, Ballymun, Finglas, and city centre. They're a mine of information, they're happy to help, and they're free.

    Best of luck with it.

    Yep. The pass is the pass. You're not using the results for CAO points. Those guidance folks will be able to tell you what is required by the guards in term of qualifications though. There may be alternatives available that can be assessed as a LC equivalent.

    Yes, you can do your LC in any number of subjects you want.

    Do you know what credits you got for Communications and the two other languages in your LCA?

    I don't remember doing a language in LCA.. It won't make any difference anyway. LCA has been ruled out so I might give them a ring and check out my options..
